NYC man accused of damaging license plates on Secret Service vehicles guarding VP’s stepdaughter
Associated PressNEW YORK — A Manhattan software developer was arrested and charged Tuesday with damaging the license plate covers on two SUVs belonging to a Secret Service detail assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter. The man, Harry Heymann, appeared to be a supporter of a small group of citizen activists who call attention to — and sometimes personally modify — the obstructed license plates often used by motorists to evade tolls and traffic enforcement in New York. Gersh Kuntzman, the editor of news site Streetsblog NYC, popularized the efforts in 2022 with a series of videos — and a recent Daily Show appearance — showing him personally “un-defacing” license plates. A spokesperson for the Secret Service didn’t respond to a question about why the two vehicles featured license plate covers.
